Sweet & Spicy Golden Chia Pizza

December 5, 2018

Who loves pizza?! If this is you then check out this delicious, thin, crispy based pizza recipe! The sauce is sweet, spicy and slightly sticky. It’s such a simple recipe, just grab some gram flour and chia seeds and you're half way to pizza time!

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees and lightly grease a large baking tray or line with greaseproof paper.

Make your sweet and spicy sauce. Add coconut oil to a medium size sauce pan and heat gently. Add minced garlic, oregano and diced chili to the oil and fry over a gentle heat until soft and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Take care not to let the garlic brown.

Add the tomatoes and maple syrup and leave on a gentle simmer.

While the sauce is cooking, make the pizza crust. In a mixing bowl, mix chia seeds and 6 tbsp water to form a gel.

Add gram flour, water, turmeric, pink salt and pepper to the bowl and mix well until it comes together as a sticky dough. Add a little more water if you need to.

Flatten out on to your greased or lined baking tray into a round pizza shape. Bake for 25 mins or until firm.

While the pizza is cooking, check the sauce for flavour- add more maple syrup or chili accordingly. Add the balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to the sauce and stir well. You want the sauce to reduce down by at least half, so turn the heat up if you need to.

Take out your golden pizza crust and top with sweet and spicy sauce and toppings of choice. Pop back in the oven for another 7-10 minutes until the vegetables have browned.
